What happens if I don’t have a valid Swedish identification document when I go to vote?

If you do not have a valid Swedish identity document, you can prove your identity using a local identification document, such as a British passport, residence permit, driving licence, or provisional driving licence.

Alternatively, your identity may be confirmed if a polling officer recognises you or if another person confirms your identity. The person confirming your identity must be over 18 and bring their own ID document.
